State of the Program ... Port Charlotte (FL)
Port Charlotte (FL)
Port Charlotte is definitely a program on the rise … they move from 2A to 1A in 2021-22 and with the hammers that they return - this is a team that should make some noise this season. Koen Hoffman and Okten Logue both finished on the 2A podium in 2021 and both will be amongst the favorites to claim a 1A title in 2022. But the Pirates are far from being just two hammers … this team has depth.
The Pirates welcome back Nick Sloan, Grant Laballister, Tyler Rodriguez, Derek Pinedo, and Josiah Arroyo. All 5 won multiple matches at the 2A Region 3 tournament in 2021 and each has the ability to punch their ticket to the state tournament in 2022. With 7 wrestlers that have a legit shot to be in Kissimmee and several with a chance to climb high on the podium - the Pirates are poised to have quite a season (top 10 finish anyone?). We won’t get ahead of ourselves because there is a lot of wrestling between now and March, but Coach Crane has this team in position to make a run in 2022.
“It’s going to be a fun season for my Pirates this year.”
